-Workshop 3: “Echo and narcissus” – dramatization of texts.

The dramatization of texts is a method often applied in the teaching of foreign languages. It’s a motivational method, which is to move students to so-called “total read”. At the same time, the primary purpose of the activity, the scenic representation of a text, which rather passes performing game as to the education Theatre in the school context, implies a deeply poignant discussion process with the respective text. Especially in children and adolescents, this form of work has a special relevance, as she seems on the one hand to arouse their interest and therefore motivating influences, and at the same time significantly contributes to their aesthetic education. The text that was modified in our workshop, was a revision of the text “Echo and narcissus” by Ovid.

The workshop could both really appeal to young people as even the teachers who took part, and motivate to participate.

In the context of this workshop the participants dealt with a text, which included very detailed instructions on the implementation of sequences of a traditional Greek dance. The goal of a common group dance proved to be a very motivating effect for the participants. For the carrying out of instructions a “total reading” and comprehension of the text is also required. In this type of text images play an extremely enhancing role in text comprehension. In this sense, the text comprehension by the participants was supported by a video. And the result, that is group dancing, not only amused the attendees, but also gave them a sense of achievement for their performance.
